Canara Bank has moved from a three-tier to a four-tier organisation structure – comprising head office, 21 circles, 118 regional offices (ROs) and 5,847 branches across the country.

The bank had pilot launched its four-tier structure on Apri1 15 this year in two circles – Bengaluru (Karnataka) and Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) – with 19 ROs.

While inaugurating the 19 circles and 99 ROs, Rakesh Sharma, MD and CEO of the bank, said: “Being a front-ranking large commercial bank in the country, we must change our structure to be more agile, stay in tune with the times, drive business, and bring in sustained growth by establishing more ‘Connect with the Branches and Customers’ initiatives.”

At present, the bank’s total business is more than ₹8-lakh crore, with a strong pan-India presence of 5,847 branches and 9,657 ATMs. The bank has been catering to a client base exceeding 7.25 crore.
